Notes
gollark: You can read *fiction* or something, instead of... communist propaganda.
gollark: I don't think "you need to experience it" is a very good argument, though, inasmuch as I really wouldn't want to experience some political systems I'm pretty sure would go badly.
gollark: Also, people seem to be inconsistent on what it actually is.
gollark: Which will *hopefully* go away after this, but I kind of doubt it.
gollark: Crises are always an excuse for governments to grab power. We got ridiculous privacy invasion and useless airport security after 9/11 and whatnot, and governments now are declaring bucketloads of emergency powers.
